Water and chlorine in the Martian subsurface along the traverse of NASA's Curiosity rover: DAN measurement profiles along the traverse

Abstract

This dataset contains a water map and a table of water and chlorine content in shallow Martian subsurface derived from the DAN instrument data from a landing site up to MSL sol 3333. DAN is a neutron spectrometer onboard the NASA’s Curiosity rover (see Mitrofanov, I. G., et al., (2012). Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) experiment onboard NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory. Space Science Reviews, 170(1–4), 559–582. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11214-012-9924-y). The DAN instrument consists of two separate units: the DAN DE is the detector and electronics block, the DAN PNG is pulsed neutron generator. The DAN DE contains two proportional counters filled with 3He gas for recording thermal and epithermal neutrons up to energy of 100 eV (CTN detector) and epithermal neutrons from 0.4 eV up to 100 eV (CETN detector). DAN provides two types of measurements: active and passive. When DAN DE operates in the passive mode, its detectors record the local neutron background. In the active mode the DAN PNG unit generates short pulses of 14 MeV neutrons, and DAN DE record additional counts of post-pulse emission of moderated neutrons after their interactions with nuclei of shallow subsurface. The results of active and passive DAN measurements along the traverse are assigned to two independent types of pixels: Pixel with Active Data (PAD) and Pixels of Passive Data (PPD). The content of water reported as Water Equivalent Hydrogen (WEH) for both kinds of pixel. The content of absorption equivalent chlorine (AEC) reported only for PAD. Statistical errors are given in each pixel. Method of active data analysis is described in Lisov, D. I., et al., (2018). Data Processing Results for the Active Neutron Measurements by the DAN Instrument on the Curiosity Mars Rover. Astronomy Letters, 44(7), 482–489. https://doi.org/10.1134/S1063773718070034. The "Method of Referencing by Active Data" (MRAD) to analyze passive data was described in Nikiforov, S. Y., et al., (2020). Assessment of water content in Martian subsurface along the traverse of the Curiosity rover based on passive measurements of the DAN instrument. Icarus, 346, 113818. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2020.113818. PPD pixels are presented as squares in the water map, PAD are presented as circles. Table of water and chlorine contains seven values for each pixel: (1) is the successive number of pixel, (2) is a mark of its type, either PAD or PPD, (3) is longitude and (4) is latitude coordinates of the center of the pixel, (5) is the associated member of the MSL stratigraphic column, and (6) is estimated WEH values (wt.%) in PAD or PPD and (7) is estimated AEC value in PAD (wt.%).
